Product Description
DAM Quick 100-373 Drag Knob (Brake Nut)
Precision Control for Your DAM Quick Microlite Reel
Regain the finesse required for ultra-light fishing with the DAM Quick 100-373 Drag Knob. This specialized external component is the control center for the drag system on the legendary DAM Quick Microlite series. Positioned on the face of the spool, it allows you to make micro-adjustments to the drag tension, ensuring you can protect light test lines (2lb - 6lb) when battling trout, panfish, or crappie.
On vintage Microlite reels like the Quick 110 and 265, the original drag knobs are often lost, cracked, or suffer from stripped threads. A compromised knob prevents the drag from engaging correctly, leading to lost fish or broken lines. Restoring your reel with this genuine-specification part ensures the smooth, consistent drag pressure that these miniature engineering marvels are famous for.
